I did not think that I d have time to get anything done on this and I am mostly correct I considered several options on what to do with this thing before I got around to working on it some more so I guess now I am officially still working on this project until all the loose ends are gone For those that don t know I am now in college so my time is exponentially limited (you even have to study here!) It will take much greater time for change to occur (Thus the lack of a new relicvu last month ) I consider this Relicvu to be a beta release There are a few minor changes I must make to this before it is official- here are the things that temporarily don t work 1 Speeds in 320x200 scrollback 2 320x200 wide mode scrollback So here are the new things o I rewrote the 320x200 display routines which should hopefully be a little faster and much smoother o I changed the interface color scheme o Fixed a bug in Bin vga display o Enter aborts ALL DISPLAY now for you lazy ppl who hate Esc keys -=- Command summary F1 - Help - displays a brief summary of commands F2 - Resolution - allows user to select display mode These modes include 80x25 text scrollback ansimation 80x50 text scrollback ansimation 320x200x256 MCGA scrollback ansimation 320 Wide MCGA scrollback ansimation 640x480x16 VGA scrollback ansimation 640 Wide VGA scrollback ansimation F3 - Path - allows user to change directories filespec The file list will be updated accordingly after returning to the interface The default masks are specified in RELICVU CFG RELiCVu supports up to 4 masks The fourth mask is specifiable via commandline i e RELICVU * ANS will load RELiCVu with the default masks and * ANS overwriting the fourth mask if it exists F4 - Autoscroll - determines whether RELiCVu will initially scroll through ansis or whether the user gets the priviledge F5 - Ansimation mode - turns off scrollback and displays all ansimation sequences RELiCVu does force ansimation in scrollback mode if the SAUCE ansimation flag is set F6 - Select viewing speed The speeds are as follows ( okay so the baud rates are definitely approximate ) ) Presto (no delay) Allegro (14400 bps) Andante (9600 bps) Adagio (2400 bps) and Largo (1200 bps) F7 - Select color options You have the following options 1 Normal - Defaults to blink but loads iCEColor if the corresponding flag in SAUCE is set 2 iCEColor - Forces iCEColor (non-blink mode) 3 Ascii - Strips colors from Ansi For your hidden message viewing pleasure 4 Grayscale - Makes the ansi gray Pgup Pgdn - The arrow keys are used to scroll through the file list or a prompt to highlight an item for selection When displaying an ansi these may also be used to scroll back through it Enter - Selects highlighted file for display or updates chosen option -=- If you email me I ll greet you next month gt5111a@prism gatech edu SAUCE00RELiCVu Documentation Greater Evil RELiC 19940519 P
